Citizens of Humanity Rocks Out with Metallica
The marriage between denim and rock n’ roll continues…and I am loving it! Veteran denim brand Citizens of Humanity is leading the pack with this next move, collaborating on an exclusive line with German e-tailer MyTheresa. But that’s not the meat and potatoes of it…this collaboration is inspired and influenced by the heavy metal band Metallica, with each piece photographed on Jessica Miller, the gorgeous model wife of drummer Lars Ulrich. I grew up on a lot of metal and industrial music before I ever got into electronic and became a DJ (well, once a metalhead always a metalhead, don’t get me wrong) and along with my love of denim, this gets me fairly excited!
The Citizens of Humanity x MyTheresa collection is made up of jeans, denim outerwear and tops that come right out of the ’90s rock era (the best there was if you ask me). The Trucker Vest in After Hours at the bottom of this post definitely screams metal grunge! This subculture has always been intriguing to me, but growing up in high school, I only really saw a lot in terms of style when it came to what was worn onstage or in photo shoots of my favorite bands rather than what self-proclaimed “metalheads” wore while out and about (which I guess is fair enough that fashion and style isn’t exactly on the top of their minds). I always loved taking everything in the stylistic direction, so this collection speaks to me in that regard!
Citizens of Humanity founder Jerome Dahan states “Metallica’s style throughout the years has been the epitome of heavy metal fashion, as they are one of the bands that has made this music subculture so influential in the fashion world. The band has maintained an element of authenticity with their music and their fashion that I feel immensely contributes to their success over the past few decades. They will forever be known for their rebellious and edgy look and aesthetic wearing oversized denim jackets, ripped up jeans, and leather outerwear.”
All pieces from this collection were manufactured at the Citizens of Humanity headquarters in Los Angeles.
